Hello.
Happy Halloween.
For those of you that are Halloween partied out, we get it. Carry on.
But for those that are jonesing for one last night of painting your face and watching people swallow swords, or a low-ish key night sipping complimentary hot sake and watching Japanese horror films, or a not so low-ish key night dancing to some amazing music at The San Remo, we've got good news for you.
And said good news comes in the form of the following last-minute Halloween roundup. Check it out, and be all the wiser of places to hit for one last night of Halloween revelry.
The Costumed Block Party Benefit
What's Going On: Remember Coup? Well, Coup is now going to be a series of pop-up events around the country. The first one is tonight, and it's a pop-up benefit costume gala across multiple bars, with all proceeds going to aid the people of Puerto Rico. Think of it as a costumed block party of sorts. One with very, very good cocktails.

The Champagne Dance Party
What's Going On: The San Remo is throwing a Halloween thing with an open vodka and champagne bar (from 8pm-9:30pm), passed hors d'oeuvres and Phillip Jung, aka one of the two members of the acclaimed DJ duo M.A.N.D.Y., providing the music.

The Classic Horror-Themed Bar Party
What's Going On: A classic horror-themed Halloween party at this patio-ed Williamsburg bar, with a DJ all night, homemade candy, and food and drink specials including $6 painkillers and frozen alcoholic pumpkin spice lattes. It's the only way they'll trick you into drinking pumpkin spiced lattes.

The Sake and Horror Movie Option
What's Going On: The Williamsburg Japanese steakhouse is celebrating by screening cult-favorite Japanese horror films like Ringu (The Ring), Juon (The Grudge) and Dark Water, and giving out free hot sake during dinner service. Steak, sake and scary movies. Sounds like a decent Halloween to us.
